Welcome
to the American version of " Orthodox Church "
The
devil is busy at work in the same field in which the Lord sowed the good
seed.
Read
carefully and share it with your friends and family.
His
Late Holiness Abune Yacob, Patriarch of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo
Church, ( LINK
) a "hero of the Christian Faith" committed his life
so completely to the Lord, was religiously
highly knowledgeable spiritual father of the Orthodox Church. His holiness was
the first choice as first patriarch of the Eritrea Orthodox Tewahdo Church.
It is a tremendous lose of such a spiritual leader at a very critical time
for the church. Over the past 8
years, the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church went through considerable
shakeups’. Masterminded by
denominational and new age movement groups and individuals, the church, from
within and outside is facing series threat.
The Orthodox Tewahdo church according to church History, ancient
writing of apostles and their immediate followers as well as archeological
evidence, the Orthodox faith is the vehicle God uses in shaping what we call
it “Christianity” with the true teaching [warship] (Ortho-Doxa) church
as its center. Much to the
surprise of many unaware, not all “Christians” of our modern time are
necessary true Christians according to Lord Jesus Christ
own commandments gave to his
apostles. For now as part of our future effort to inform
fathers-mothers-brothers-sisters on a very fundamental Christian faith
currently under threat we began by way of saying: What’s going on in
the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church today is quite confusing.
The World
Councils of Church (WCC)
and the Norwegian Church Aid are
front runners supporting the dismantling of the Christian faith that
has so far, ANCIENT and UNDILUTED on one hand,
CORRECT and TRUE
on the other under the ever evil terms against the church:
“REFORMATION” and “RENEWAL” of its administration. LINK.
It
has been said that, since Abune Yacob assumed the Patriarchate office
some time in August 2002, His Holiness worked hard
to clean-up the mess created in the last 7 years before his
consecration as patriarch. Abune Yacob had some difficult times during his
stay in Office. What's the official position of the bishops in the Holy
Synods on changing the administrative and structural new laws introduced few
year ago ? the
knowingly or otherwise silence and tolerance against a new heretical
teaching by the immature is surly encouraging the charismatic and their agenda. The question is
now who will replace the late Abune Yacob?
One that maintain the true Orthodox Faith or one that would
compromise the true Orthodox in favor of new age fanatic movements. Would
the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church correct what went wrong over the last
10 years and hold its holy place as a vehicle of Gods’ church ? or,
gives in to the ever extreme pressure of denominational and new age fanatic movements under ( The World
Councils of Church ) to become
just like other apostate churches founded
by humans for financial and entertainment reasons.
Look around, you will find two out of three “ Lets have fun!! ” so called "churches"
advancing human needs for the flesh BUT not
for the SPIRIT-the-
TRUTH. We can track the biblical history of man and women disobedient of
Gods commandment in search of their own delusions.
In such time and event we are told
“withdraw
thyself” from those who “consent not to wholesome words ... and to the
doctrine which is according to godliness” (II Timothy 4:2).
False
doctrine overthrows the faith of some, so those who are proclaiming it must
be exposed. (II Tim.2: 15-18)
“If
any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him
be accursed.” (Gal. 1:6-9).
The
Atlanta based representing Eritrean Orthodox tewahdo church has so far
proven to be teHadso (renewal)
movement which is working directly with the movement's
sympathizers at the highest Synods
level (Bishops) of the
Orthodox Church in Eritrea. All the “church” branches hastily in the
process of establishment in the U.S., are led by BIBLE -ONLY and SONG
believing members of Reformation Church and cults.
Many of these are male and female, ( suspended from Eritrean churches
back home for causing similar troubles ), Link.
these group of people with only interest in making music and dance in the church, (Orthodox does not permit
that), with no knowledge of Orthodox Christianity and mission what’s so ever.
These confused male and female found their way to the United States
through "religious persecution" excuse and then organized under
the Atlanta Eritrean Orthodox Church, according to close associates with the
church. There are many female active members with this group,
well let's see what the bible says " 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 ".
Take for instance the so called kidiste
Mariam
church in Columbus, Holy Trinity in Seattle, and Medhanie-Alem in Washington DC.,
who are those running the show ? if you can identify two or three young male
and female, granted there are that many working behind the doors.
Study them carefully. You'll be approached to give away your sans ,
daughters, to make sure the next generation is cleansed from the faith and
religion of our Holy fathers of the Orthodox and brainwashed by the
new age movement charismatic fanatic nonsense.

The Atlanta Eritrean (teHadso)
orthodox priority plan is to get children and elderly and those easily
gullible hook to the new things that
is against the true Orthodox church.
Now
a days importing an Orthodox priest from Eritrea is the tall order of the
day. Once the priest gets here, it is a different ballgame. He will have to
add and subtract church service order against his will because the board
members and the diocese owns him...after all they ( these group of no bodies
of the church) make sure they have the control over the financial matters of
the church and IF THE PRIEST DOES NOT DO what he is told---HE WILL BE FORCED
TO GO BACK TO HIS COUNTRY. To make sure imported " priest's
preaching and practice are inline with renewal (TEHADSO) faith, the Head of
the Atlanta
based arch priest GebreMichael yohannes (aka- Fr.
G. Michael yohannes) and his buddies (LINK
the one in the center is Fr. G.
Michael ) arranges the process of bringing a
priest from Eritrea...to make sure the coming priests went through
conversion conforming the teaching and practice of this new religious
movement called teHadso Orthodox. Remember the scripture saying "For There Must Be Also Heresies Among You...".
One
simple example: In line with the ECCLESIASTICAL LAW/CANON LAW,
Orthodox accept new converts as a member of the church through confession of
the faith and baptism. The is now going to be history ..sooooooon ! thanks
to new modern thinkers, they are dying to make it "AS YOU WHISH"
down the street club. Even clubs ask for positive ID.
The
coming priests are instructed to repeatedly mention, during the church
service bible reading,
"BIBLE" as the bottom line of faith. On the other
hand, Christianity - Orthodox and Church history teaches the
Holy Tradition of CHURCH has the final authority. For the holy bible
is given by the church. If
the priest in our example is a true orthodox priest, he well knows the
law of the church and must be abide by it. But what happens once he gets
here and told to fallow a different set of rules against his will
? after all who controllers his pay check has the power to make the
priests life either way...even if temporary.
No wonder then these uninvited churches are popping-up at no body's request
but those fallen non-Orthodox individuals. " And
their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus
are of this sort. " ( 2 Timothy 2:17 ).
For those of us who knows the true Orthodox Holy Tradition and its practice,
the systematic diversion tactics deployed against Orthodox is very clear at
this point in time. A war between truth and fallacy if you
will. Don't be surprise to see Priests out of touch from the little you
know about Orthodox. The early History of Christianity tells stories
of "Priests and bishops" who in conflict with
the holy path of truth out of pride and self-serving
reasons.
Considering who and how the "Eritrean Orthodox tewahdo church"
Atlanta headquarters run its affair reveals so much. The so called
15 or more PhD’s (of all sorts but non in the Orthodox religion, not even
in any area of theology) ingrained themselves in church government and
church administration surrounding the Atlanta based "Orthodox
Church" should be a good indication
(apart from the shocking - non-Orthodox practice such us using modern
musical Instrument in the worship of God) the agenda of the false teaching
bogus group under the sticker name Orthodox. To
those who sold doves he said, Get these out of here! HOW DARE YOU turn my
Father's house into a Market! (John 2:13-17).
It
may be difficult for the untrained eye to identify the right from
wrong. Knowing the core of the Orthodox faith very well, our many
encounters ( personal or other ways) with some of these man and woman
testifies how the road ahead will be very difficult for the Orthodox
followers. It’s time Orthodox followers find out the names,
credentials and religion back ground of these PhD modern academicians,
Board of trusty, behind the “Atlanta Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church”. How
in the world does a modern 20 century academics even the most educated
theologian justifies reforming - innovating the ancient yet ever new
teaching and practice of our faith handed to us by the best spiritual
leaders the apostles and like minded Holy fathers of the church.
Hopefully the reader, by now, can see where we heading. To
our understanding, the current "lack of religious freedom"
allegation from the western countries against Eritrean Government may be as
a result of resentment by the religion REFORMERS for the slow process of
unfinished job of REFORMING the Orthodox Church. Who's
behind this allegations ? no one other than those NGO's and
humanitarian groups financing the evil act of creating sect groups and
radicalism in Eritrea.
All these of course at the expense of the Orthodox Church--the founder and
the base of Christianity !!! Deceivers of our modern days abandoning
the the foundation of Christianity in exchange with MODERN EVANGELICAL FAKE
FAITH OF THE WESTERN " CIVILIZED " MAN MADE RELIGION. Don
not discard the germ-free Orthodox practice of your fathers for the infected
- cheap - easy - entertaining satanic practices currently being introduced
in the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church. The
devil is busy at work in the same field in which the Lord sowed the good
seed. Remember
this words of God "...if you hold to my teaching, you are really my
disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you
free." Yes ! We the Orthodox Tewahdo followers must hold to the
teaching of the apostles and the religion they founded. This can only be done
if we make sure ABSOLUTELY NOTHING changes from the practices of the
Orthodox as known for the last 2000 years. That's the meaning of
"......if you hold to my teaching" " Hold to "
" to abide in them" " to remain in them". If
you want fake religion bible
waving and yelling preacher only "church" with
entertainment added, jokes all over, modern musical instrument, snake
served, comfortable chairs, break time ....all that fell- comfortable
environment...we strongly suggest you visit next door non-orthodox
" church". Orthodox is not for dummies ! that's
not what God established for us to hold on to ---to abide in--- you can not
have it any easier just because you live in Europe , United States or planet
MARS. Gods establishments does not change with TIME, PLACE and
SPACE.
For your own comfort and convenience and [ I know
what is right ego] you can go ahead and mess around with God you will soon
get what you deserve. AND The Church and its product the word of God
(the Bible) does not Any one bishop, priest or group of people attempt
to alter or change the innocently ancient practice of the church would be
"causing division in the church" teHadso " Eritrean
Orthodox tewahdo church" of Atlanta (U.S.A) and Europe are just
busy doing that for the last few years. No doubt they have the support of
some sort from Eritrean to implement and lead the innocent Eritrean tewahdo
followers astray. That's causing division, [ ROMAN 16:17].
WHY
DOES THE RECENT – in 2002 and 2003 - VISITING ERITREAN BISHOPS to the U.S.
(with the absence of Holiness
Abune Yacob) ALLOWED (LINK)
SUCH UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICE BY THE ATLANTA “ORTHODOX
“ CHURCH ??? * Who were the "bible preachers" at the gathering
during the Bishop’s Visit ? * Was the preaching in line with the doctrine
and teaching of our Holy Fathers of the Holy Orthodox Church ???
* By no means it was !!!. Why
did the Bishops tolerated and allowed such wrong teaching of Reformation
Church's and New age “Priest” whose present and past involvement with
the cult Pentecostal background ?? *
judging from what publicly preach and practice, does these same individuals
working at the diocese recruits of the other faith to reform the Orthodox
church ?. * In this regard what does the Holy Canons which
prohibit the Orthodox from “prayer with heretics”
says on this ?
"Let
any Bishop, or Presbyter (Priest), or Deacon that merely joins in prayer
with heretics be suspended, but if he has permitted them to perform any
service as clergymen, let him be deposed."
(Apostolic Canon 45).
**
Does the Orthodox tewahdo church confess and practice the faith based on the
apostolic canon law: the Apostolic constitution, Fetha
Negast (chapter
1-22), Synodos, abtlis ? If
so…why all sorts of violations ?
Orthodox
church saints declared " Let them innovate in nothing, but keep the
Holy Traditions "
Until
the church clean out the imperfection infiltrated over the last
8 years the true Traditional Orthodox believers must stay vigilant
particularly those in diasporas (I
Corinthians 11,23 ; I Corinthians 11:2,
and II Thessalonians 2:15; 3;6). Beware from
human Organizations with "Orthodox"
sticker. Not even those speak your own language----pretending Priests
or shall I say, baptized themselves with a new name,
"Fathers" as MODERN new
naming convention being used by the Atlanta groups.
"Come out of her, My people, lest you
take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues."
Revelation 18.4.. If you
live in a city where man-made church recently established, then you'll know.
The self-elected-- instrument of false teaching-- establishing false churches
already introducing dangers evil changes. To make sure the evil
changes coexist with mix truth, the future board members of that church be
either, non-Orthodox or Orthodox but know nothing about it, group of
individuals. The
majority of those who attend these " Eritrea Orthodox Tewahdo Church's
" established since 1998 are not orthodox by birth or by conversion.
Since this new teHadso, also known as, " Eritrea Orthodox Tewahdo Church's
" movement is to their likings they are OKAY, sympathy goes to those
who honestly attend these churches thinking it is the Orthodox Tewahdo of
their fathers....Jesus and the apostles. Orthodox is what was established, perched and defended
over 200 years. It will not change
! it can not be reformed and changed. Why change, MODERNIZE our
ancient Apostolic Orthodox Faith and Practice ?.
What was true thousand years faith of the church, remain True now.
How can it be changed if it does then you have no foundation for your
faith. Like wise, to quote an Orthodox
bishop: “WHAT WAS BELOVED BY EVERY ONE ALL THE TIME EVERY WHERE.”
To make sure that the apostolic Tradition, ORTHODOX, would be
passed down after the deaths of the apostles, Paul told Timothy: "[W]hat
you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who
will be able to teach others also" (2 Tim. 2:2).
"
So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the Traditions which you were
taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter." (2 Thess 2:15)
"And
the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not
the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the
saints" 1 Cor. 14:32,33)
"Let
all things be done decently and in order" (1 Cor. 14:40)
"I
commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the
Traditions even as I have delivered them to you"
(1 Cor. 11:2)
